No, but I should have.😁

Only all about YOU.

My Bridgeport Bulldog is sn 213960.

I fully agree with those who think the dropped back front sight on ported guns looks bad. To be kind ..... it looks like Hell. As big a deal breaker as the internal lock.

Yes, as a civilian, I shot a civilian. ............. I shot myself. Hurt like hell.

I sent this email to one of our members as a private message. I'm sending it out to all members for their information. My Terrier. The model stamp under the crane is 32. I sent my Terrier information to Roy Jinks. Here is what he said: We have researched your Smith & Wesson .38 Terrier...

Reply to Handejector. I have not purchased the trigger because I don't know what to buy. I will not be doing the work myself. I will use a local gunsmith to do the job. Thank you. Not only are you in my will.....but you can be buried beside me. etmjr

I apologize for the long-windedness of this posting, but I need help from the Masters here. I have a 2" .38 S&W Smith and Wesson Model 32 Terrier. Serial # 8288*. Roy Jinks informed me it was shipped from the factory April 16, 1959. 100% finish. It has a grooved trigger, I want to replace the...

Victory V292888. On second (and more careful) look, the finish is black and not parkerized. Thank you. I will certainly post Roy's letter content here.

Victory V292888. I'm not an expert on gun finishes, I thought parkeried. It is a dull gray finish to my ancient eyes.

Victory V292888. V292888 is a .38 S&W.

Victory V292888. I will send a request form to Roy Jinks next week so you can get a precise description of V292888. Roy and my Father-in-law, Henry Curtis (SWCA #177) were close friends. Until then, the gun is parkerized, 5" barrel, lanyard, smooth wood grips, US PROPERTY GHD, no "S' or "P"...

I have a Victory serial number V292888. It belonged to my Father-in -law, Henry Curtis (HC 177). Can someone give me any details on this gun, like date of manufacture and shipped to?

To all of you guys, thanks for your help. I have been shooting since I was 12 (69 now) and I should have thought (been smart enough) to mention the caliber. It is a .38 S&W. THe gun is sound, nothing rattles or moves unless I move it. Definitely no Buffalo Bore or those Fiocchi rounds. It's...

At the last gun show I bought a Smith and Wesson 4th Model (tagged as such). Nickel finish and 3 1/4" barrel. Hammerless. Has a grip safety. Quite a handsome gun. The gun locks up tight, no cylinder play. Black grips (gutta percha?). Serial number (bottom of butt) is: 1276xx. When the gun is...

At the last gun show I bought Terrier, model 32. Serial number 828xx. The gentleman is the first owner. He said he bought it around 45 years ago. He did not shoot it much, it is NIB (original box). Box shows storage friction with other boxes. Barrel is 2". I bought it for my wife, slight in...

When (year) did Smith and Wesson make the design switch from black powder cartridges to smokeless powder cartridges?
